    Subdual Feat

    Does anyone know of a feat, and where I could find it, that allows your character to negate the dealing subdual damage penalty? I am looking to make a bounty-hunter rogue and would like to have this as one of her feats. Thanks in advance, mac1504

    Do you make notes on what has happened after a game session?

    The game I am playing in right now, the DM awards Hero/Action points to anyone that writes up a summary at the end of the adventure. We have one player who does this, and actually it has been very beneficial to the game. It seems we plot and strategize more (as players) with the summary, before...

    Seeking a little DM advice

    I ran a one-shot during GenCon a few years back from my regular game group with this same premise. I actually selected the cop (in real life) to be the traitor/assassin as I knew he would be the least likely to be suspected by the group (plays Paladins and Clerics mostly). Anyway, I scripted...

    Campaigning in Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun

    Thanks for the information. My DM will appreciate that, if I can still find it. mac1504

    Campaigning in Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun

    I was wondering if anyone else here on the boards has run or participated in a campaign based off of Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun series (Shadow of the Torturer/Claw of the Conciliator, etc.)? Our DM currently is running us through a campaign set on Urth. We're having fun so far, but it...

    Any Miniatures that Use a Spiked Chain?

    Check out www.reapermini.com they have (IIRC) at least two chain wielding miniatures in their fantasy line. mac1504

    I've decided to take the plunge and be a DM, any advice?

    Great advice so far, the only addition I would like to make is for any aspiring DM to find the original DungeonCraft articles published in Dragon (Monte, IIRC, is penning the current series) that lays out the rules of DM'ing. If you can search the messageboards (or ask nicely for someone else...

    Looking for Dwarven Prestige Class

    Thanks for the links! I knew about Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves, I guess I just needed a confirmation from someone else that I should pick it up ;) Good info in that other link, although I have yet to pick up Exalted Deeds. This will help in, what I will proabably end up doing anyway...

    Looking for Dwarven Prestige Class

    I am looking for a Prestige Class for a dwarf character I am currently playing. He is a Barbarian/Fighter (2/2) that is looking to take back leadership of his clan from a rival clan that usurped his father and attempted to murder him. He knows he can't defeat the clan by himself (as he believes...

    Running Games of Books

    Personally I think the best avenue is to weave your campaign in between the book's story lines. You can certainly have the PCs crossing paths with John Snow and the Lannisters- but they are not going to be put in positions where they change the outcome of the books (unless of course you want...

    A Politician Prestige Class?

    Hello, I am playing in a 3.5 campaign right now where our wizard is an enchanter who is currently a business man and is interested in perhaps going the political route with a prestige class. He's asked me to help either find a politician prestige class (or something along the lines of bluffing...

    Advice on Opening a Game Store

    Just some thoughts and opinions I gathered from both working on the manufacturing end and working with retailers as well as my own personal experience of being in and around many different game stores: 1. Try not to alienate potential customers. I am not just talking about preferring one type...

    Campaign Idea: Island-Hopping, Swashbuckling Fun!

    Wonderful idea. I immediately thought of an "Island of Dr. Moreau" adventure. Perhaps a wizard with strange mutated experiments running around the island. I think linking some of the islands with an overarching storyline (perhaps not every island is linked- but every other or so) would be...

    Mongoose Publishing's Pocket PHB

    Not sure if this is a first, but I might just be hijacking my own thread... That really is too bad, the time I had as a squad leader in the Army I used role playing games quite a bit for training purposes. I think making a call for fire correctly in a role-playing session is much more fun than...

    Mongoose Publishing's Pocket PHB

    It wouldn't necessarily fit in your back pocket... but perhaps a cargo pocket. It is very handy in size and easy to flip through. Not to mention that it contains rules for Epic play and Psionics, I think this pint-sized collection of rules will be a much more handy reference than the PHB. I also...

    Role-playing Restrictions

    I was running a campaign for awhile and required role-playing goals for each of the PC's before they attained their next level. Each goal was tied to both the PC's class and his background story or motivations for being involved in the story line. In retrospect I think I would have done away...

    Has anyone ever played "themself" in a game of any sort?

    I ran a very short lived Top Secret game while I was in the Army. All of the player's had to play themselves and only had access to what they had around them or in their personal possession. We started the campaign with an illumanati-type organization taking over the U.S. and imposing martial...

    Mongoose Publishing's Pocket PHB

    If you've picked it up, what do you think of it so far? I thought this might make a good chrsitmas gift for some of my more rules-oriented friends. I picked it up hoping for a good quick reference book I can bookmark heavily and not worry about ruining my WOTC PHB. Let me know what you think...
